MASTER OF THE MAILS.
Mr.. Coutant Retires anil Is succeede

by Mr.. q. v. Gallagher.
All day yesterday was spent by Mr.. c.
V. Gallagher IN checking up the property
of the postal department in the govern
ment building at this place, for which he
becomes responsible rs postmaster of
this city. This property includes all the
stamps, stamped envelopes, postal cards,
postal letters. furniture and apparatus
now in use in the postoflice.
In the evening, about 8 O'Clock, just
before the Office employees left for home,
they assembled in the office of Postmas-
ter Coutant. Mr.. Coutant was engaged
in checking up the special stamp business
IN his private room when MIR. Gridley,
superintendent OF the money order de-
partment, called him into the apartment
adjoining in which were gathered both
lady and gentlemen clerks of the office.
Mr.. Contant did not know whether TO
take a seat or stand. He preferred the
latter, especially because his appearance
led, on the part of Mr.. Gridley, to the fol-
lowing address,
nearly four years as our chief officer and,
now, that you are about to retire, we, the
employees of tLis office, wish to make you a
little present, as testimonial of our regard.
Some might prize 1t for Its market value,
which Is something, or, for its beauty of
workmanship. But, sir, to you, it should be
of far greater value for the sentiment which
it represents. Now that your official duties
are about to close. and you go forth in the
full vigOr of manhood, to assume, once more
the active duties of business life, this may
thought. But sir. should 1t be your fortune
to live to that ripe old age when all cares
have been laid aside and, at times you think
to entertain your mind with pleasant recOl-
lections of the days gone by" lot this cane
remind you of this occasion and of those
whose gift it was, and to your aged and
weary limbs let it be staunch support. Now
tender you this. with their best wishes. viii
you accept it?
Mr.. Coutant accepted the present and
in q speech characterized with
good sense and reasonable
amount of heartfelt sympathy
thanked the donors, remarking that the
event would long remain in his memory
and concluded by wishing all his en-
plOyes health, happiness and prosperity
in whatever occupation they might here
after engage.
At the instance of Mr.. Fred Plckens,
three cheers were then given for Mr..
Coutant, also the incoming postmaster,
Mr.. Gallagher.
The counting of stamps and other
property then continued and did not con.
clude until toward midnight. when Mr..
Gallagher accepted the property and
responsibility of the office To-day. the
patrons of the place will doubtless call
around and shake with the new
| official
